The 18km DUKE, an acronym for the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway, forms the vital missing link in the Kuala Lumpur Road Master Plan, joining Jalan Duta in the west to Ampang in the east (North Western and North Eastern parts of Kuala Lumpur), and to the East Coast via the Karak Link.
Designed to cater for 120,000 vehicles per day, the Expressway will offer an attracitve alternative route for residents in the Klang Valley, especially for those travelling from east to west and vice versa and for those heading towards the city centre.

More than just improving connectivity, DUKE also disperses traffic from the city towards various suburban areas through multiple entry and exit points at major radial intersections.
DUKE completes the Intermediate Ring Roads (IRR) of Kuala Lumpur, bridging the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Sprint Expressway (at Penchala Link) and Ulu Kelang section of the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), thus providing uninterrupted traffic flow for motorists to travel from end to end in just 9 minutes.
With DUKE, motorists are able to travel from one end of KL to other parts in minutes, bypassing high traffic areas such as Lebuhraya Mahameru, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Kuching, Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Ampang.
